Generally speaking are those that you know who went the lawyer path pretty well off or are they average Joe income earners? How many lawyers make a lot vs average Joe pay?

I’ve known five over the years, and they’re all loaded.
One lives in a $1.5 million home in Mountain Brook and owns a place on 30A. She just turned 40.

There were 3 lawyers that graduated with me from library school.
The other 3 I know are very wealthy.

How do you define "average Joe pay?" What is that range?

I used to work directly with many attorneys. I assume they were all pretty wealthy, but they also all seemed pretty miserable (with the exception of one). They worked pretty much constantly and had extremely high stress levels. There are better ways to make a comfortable living.

I know SFP and he has the type of money that allows him to buy various meats from Wal-Mart via instacart.
If that isn't wealthy, I don't know what it is.
